Generous
Giving without needing applause,
Every gesture softens the world a little more.
Nurturing hope in places that feel forgotten,
Easing burdens, you may never see.
Radiating warmth in quiet, steady ways,
Offering kindness like second nature,
Uplifting hearts simply by being present,
Showing that compassion is a form of courage.
Swaying Breeze
The gently swaying breeze brings peace within,
Sending little goosebumps dancing on your skin.
It carries you away
To another time of day,
And every single moment feels like a win.

The largest crowd ever assembled to watch a wrestling event was in Pyongyang, North Korea, in 1995. It’s estimated that more than 300,00+ people attended the two-day event, but that probably wasn’t because of some latent love for sports entertainment in the isolated nation. As professional wrestler Scott Norton told Sports Illustrated, his limo driver clued in the American on what made the event so popular: attendance was mandatory.

JusJoJan- Mindfulness
Mindfulness isn’t about sitting cross-legged for hours or clearing your mind of every thought. It’s simply about being present—really noticing your coffee in the morning, tuning in to your breath when things feel overwhelming, or savoring a good laugh. Tiny pauses like these can make your day feel lighter and more connected. I think it is more complicated than it sounds, but I keep giving it a shot.

Patience is one of my strongest traits—most days, I’m the person who can wait in a long line without complaint or listen quietly while someone shares a story I’ve already heard. I take pride in keeping calm and letting things unfold in their own time.
But I’ll admit: there are moments when impatience gets the best of me. When it comes to waiting for a package, I’ve been excited about, or sitting through slow-loading technology, my patience can wear thin.

Prior to Kohl’s department store, Max Khol opended Khol’s supermarket, which eventually became Khol’s Food Store- and instead of abandoning his orginal concept entirely, khol expanded into department stores and kept both. Khol’s Food Stores were sold to A&P in 1983
Peace
We need peace, today
All that we’ve ever wanted.
Is needed right now
Morning Musings

Damp dew covers all.
Just before the sun warms us.
With the morning’s dawn.
Nature’s beauty shines so bright
As we welcome the new day.

Getting to Know Me
What is your idea of perfect happiness?
Here are some of my foundations for perfect happiness. The first is having moments of presence, like when I can really enjoy a cup of tea and taste it fully. I also find happiness in mindfully taking a walk, where I pay attention to the colors and textures around me, noticing how the leaves change or feeling the roughness of a tree bark.
Another key part of my happiness is tapping into my creative flow. Whether I’m writing a poem, drawing, or painting, these activities make me feel alive and joyful. When I’m in that creative zone, I feel a deep sense of happiness and contentment. Being able to express myself through art is truly a special part of my life.
Consistently- JusJoJan26
Better late than never, I have decided to join. I will work on catching up, but here is my take on consistency.
Chasing dreams with fervent zeal,
Overcoming hurdles, one can feel.
Never wavering, steadfast and true,
Striving forward in all that we do.
In each endeavor, persistence is key,
Success unfolds, as it’s meant to be.
Time may test, but we stand tall,
Enduring the journey, we answer the call.
Not just a goal, but a way of life,
Through ups and downs, we embrace the strife.
Living fully, with passion in sight,
Yearning for progress, we soar to new heights.
Searing Flames
The searing flames crackle with every word you say,
Nothing you utter can be believed today.
Your intentions twisted, shrouded in deceit,
With each whispered lie, your value faces defeat.
Glistening
The glistening tears running down her face
Her heart breaks into pieces.
Unloved and unworthy
